Connelly, Michael (11 June 1989). "Who Shot Vic Weiss". Los Angeles Times. Archived from the original on 11 December 2006 . Retrieved 3 January 2007. Ten years later, Weiss' killing remains unsolved and one of the San Fernando Valley's most puzzling mysteries.

Stokes was accused of using various forms of deception to achieve the effect of communicating with the dead. These included cold reading, [12] [13] eavesdropping, and planting accomplices in the audience. [14] [15] Evidence of audience plants [ edit ] I also met a woman who, at the age of eighteen, was told that she would be the next Doris Stokes. Later, she went on to win Channel 5’s series Britain’s Psychic Challenge. I’m quite sure this is the book Doris wanted written and she’s been guiding – not to say pushing – me every step of the way. I think that the sub-title, The Mysterious Doris Stokes Effect, sums it up.As explained, people with unusual abilities – little echoes of Doris – kept crossing my path like beads on a string, each one unknowingly revealing another strand of the mystery.

If Doris hadn’t passed when she did, I thought, ‘I wonder what other titles they would have been able to think of using voices?’ Suddenly, into my head jumped the title Voices Everywhere. Six years later I met Jane on precisely that date, we married three months later and have an eight-year-old daughter. The only fact Doris got wrong was that Jane's maiden name was Willis, not Wallis. We talked about a dancing clown musical box I've had since I was a child that plays the tune Send In The Clowns. Mum was trying to cheer me up, and over the years the music box has started up several times of its own accord whenever I've been feeling tearful. Doris Stokes Death In her book, Voices in my Ear, Stokes claimed that she had solved two murder cases in England. However, Detective Chief Superintendent Wilfrid Brooks of the Lancashire Constabulary stated that Stokes made no contribution whatsoever to the detection of either murderer. [17] Ellen Jameson, 46, best known for co-hosting a late-night Radio 2 show with husband Derek, is now a celebrity interviewer on Channel 5's Espresso show. Almost 20 years ago she met the famous celebrity stage medium Doris Stokes and witnessed her amazing revelations firsthand. She has been a firm believer in psychic powers ever since and has even set up her own astrology company, giving forecasts to business people. Ellen JamesonI was not surprised in the least when Doris Stokes came through to me on Ellen's show because she had already made an astounding prediction about my own life. I went to see Doris in 1982 when my first marriage had broken up. She told me I would meet a woman called Jane Wallis on March 6th who would become my wife and we would have a child. At the time, Linda “didn’t appreciate how amazing it all was and how, all over the country, people were having their lives changed by Doris’ work. Because she was clairaudient, all featured the word “voices” in the title. The latest book, Voices Everywhere, is subtitled The Mysterious Doris Stokes Effect.

I bumped into another woman who told me that years before, having been bereaved, she was reading a Doris Stokes book and was completely engrossed in it when she heard footsteps. Asked how the latest book came about, Linda told Psychic News: “Last year, having written a couple of unrelated books for him, my editor at the publishers asked me to give him some ideas for another title.Another participant was Marilyn Stenning, whose daughter Kerry had recently died in a car accident. She received a personal phone call from Stokes, offering her front-row seats for the Palladium performance. Other participants included "camp followers", who regularly attended the shows and repeatedly received messages from the same people. During the second half of the performance, members of the audience were chosen apparently at random. Wilson described this post-interval performance as "much less convincing... [relying] on intelligent guesswork and 'fishing '". [2] Disputed memoirs and testimony [ edit ] Doris was genuinely surprised that, as a song says, she became ‘the celebrity celebrities wanted to meet.’ I think people warmed to Doris because of her natural mumsy style and the fact that she was exactly the same on and off stage. They simply could not believe that she gave most of her earnings away. Knowing Doris, she would much sooner have had a Swiss roll than a Swiss bank account any day!” Linda added: “I’m amazed at how many people still remember Doris. Not only that, but they told me that she changed their lives.
